John 'Spanner' McDonald joined 1 PARA in 1977. He successfully passed his parachute jump instruction in June 1978.
After a parachuting accident in 1980, he was medically discharged back to civvy street. John still keeps in touch with his mates from the Army and can be seen slogging his way over Brecon, and the Lake District most weekends.
